Desperate Housewives - Housewives Audience Slow To Return


ABC's Desperate Housewives
may have continued to dominate the ratings Sunday night, capturing 15.4 million viewers,
but the number remained well below that of a couple of years ago when the program
regularly captured more than 20 million. But then, ratings for other top network
programs Sunday also showed the continuing ratings erosion since the writers' strike.
(Sunday's New York Times reported that the television networks have seen six
million viewers disappear since the 2007 May sweeps.) Bucking the trend on Sunday
was ABC's Brothers & Sisters, which drew 11.02 million viewers to a season-finale
episode following Housewives in which two gay characters were married.
